Bought a washer and dryer and when it was delivered on a Sunday and installed the washer. Then the guy was like our dryer is not gas its electric. And I'm like ok, there the wall plug right next to the washer. He was like no it's a 125V/250V plug. Im like ok. long story short, i found Mario or maybe he found me. But he was able to give me a quote and work on the project today (tuesday). Im sure he would do the project on Monday but it was Labor Day. He was able to run the wires, make a new wall plug and connect our dryer all within an hour and half. He said what he was going to do and finished the project ahead of schedule. Will definitely have him do our next project. Thank you Mario for making our laundry room whole. read more

Mario is exceptional! His work is top notch (as I'll explain below). What I really want to highlight is that he is a great listener, very respectful, there was no MAN-SPLAINING. His demeanor is friendly and professional, he is an excellent communicator, and he gave me a fair price. He is the electrician we are all looking for! The work: I needed a 240 v line run from my breaker box, to my kitchen (all the way across the house). When he came for the estimate, he was prompt, and listened to the explanation of my needs. My home is over 100 years old and nothing is straightforward... however, Mario examined my home's current electrical infrastructure and then clearly explained what he would do. He was confident he could easily complete the job. He provided me with a very fair estimate (and I was sure to tip him because he is worth so much more!!!!) He came back two days later and did the job. His work is excellent. He kept his work spaces tidy and cleaned up when he was done. After the work was completed, he walked me through the steps and made sure I was satisfied with the results. If you've gotten this far in my review, I'm thrilled because Mario truly provides workmanship and customer service like we used to enjoy in days-gone-by. If you decide to have Mario come to your home to address your electrical needs, you will definitely not be disappointed! read more

I want to recommend Mario Carranza of Carranza Electric (415) 879-3935. He's super nice, honest, explains all of your options, and doesn't pressure you to make specific purchases. He also lives in Bernal Heights. Today, Mario replaced my patio light and installed track lighting and a dimmer switch in my living room all for $475. Plus he completed the job in about 4 hours. All I need to do is paint over 3 small patches where he drilled and replaced the drywall. read more

His work is wonderful and I highly recommend him if you're looking for a responsive person who has good prices, he's the person you want! read more

I've never interacted with anyone like Mario. He's responsive, honest, and a true craftsman. I had Mario do a couple of things, he removed and rewired some old wires in my garage, he did that in an hour. Later in the week he did some pretty involved work of rewiring my living room which involved multiple trips under the house. His pricing is very reasonable and he will be my go to electrican from now. If you're looking for a long term electrician, don't hesitate to give Mario a call. read more

Mario did a great job at a very reasonable price. He changed out 25-30 outlets and switches around the house and installed a 30v outlet for our EV. He was friendly and worked efficiently. I would definitely call him again for any electrical needs in the future. read more

Five stars! Mario was excellent- I reached out to several contractors about a broken light bulb base I could not remove myself despite several attempts ; Mario replied back to me within the hour, came out same day, was punctual and provided a professional service explaining everything! He appears very knowledgable about wiring. He charged a very reasonable price (other Contractors were going to charge me double+ the price!). He also genuinely seemed to enjoy his work and care about the results. He even kindly offered to look at another light fixture in our pantry (that was incorrectly wired and not working) while here and knew immediately what to do! Would highly recommend Mario , we will definitely be returning to him for any further electric needs! Thank you Mario for giving us light again !! read more

I was able to get Mario through Yelp, he answered almost immediately, was able to fix the light switch issue and his fee was reasonable. I will call Carranza Electric for any future needs!! read more

Really great work from Mario who installed a regular 120V outlet and a 14-50 outlet for my EV in my garage. The work was done super fast and efficiently. He was communicative and up front about pricing throughout the whole process. I will call him again if I need more work done. read more

I asked Mario to help with installing several smart light switches and a couple replacement electrical outlets. Mario was easy to get ahold of over the phone and via text. We spoke on a Friday afternoon, and Mario agreed to come Sunday morning. Mario arrived on time and completed the project in a few hours for a reasonable price. I was satisfied with Mario's work and would call on him again. read more

I spoke and texted with Mario on Monday, explaining what I wanted done. I sent him some pictures. We agreed that he would show up on Thursday at 3pm. He showed up with a smile and the exact parts we needed. He converted an outlet to be able to plug in my car charger, and also converted another outlet to a 20 amp outlet. He did both in an hour and charged a very reasonable fee. I will be calling him to for more projects in the coming weeks. By the way, he has decades of experience and knows exactly what he is doing. read more

(I posted this review already, but Yelp is still asking for a review, so here it is.) I could not be happier with Mario. He showed up exactly at the appointed time and resolved the problem instantly. It's embarrassing to admit, but I must be completely honest here: The problem was me. Four of the outlets on my kitchen wall had stopped working a week ago. I had pressed the red GFCI switch, and still no power. I had switched the circuit breaker on and off, and still no power. But when Mario pressed the GFCI switch: Power! Maybe I didn't press the GFCI switch hard enough the first time, or maybe I should have pressed it a few times. Regardless, the solution was pressing the red button, and it worked for Mario. I am completely embarrassed I did not check this more closely before I called Mario, but I am very happy to give him a glowing review. And he didn't even charge me. If you want honest service from a reliable electrician, look no further. read more

Mario is literally the best Electricitan! If you're a small business or big that needs electric repairs this is the man! He's a one man army so the price will be good and the job will be even better. I bought a new 45 inch tv that needed to be installed to the ceiling and no outlet close by, my man I climbed on the roof drilled and installed the outlet and the tv within 2 hours... wow!! read more

I would absolutely hire Mario again. He was reliable, efficient and definitely knows his trade. He was quick with solutions and also was reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend him. read more

We had accumulated several minor electrical jobs (light switch problems, broken bathroom fan, etc.) as well as a more complicated project requiring some creative problem-solving (moving our fiber internet terminal, home networking RJ45 panel, and Ethernet switch into an enclosure to reduce cable mess and dust accumulation -- an overambitious pandemic project I never got around to finishing). Mario took them all on without blinking, got everything done in less than a day and for the original estimate, left everything cleaner and tidier than he'd found it, and even added hinges and a latch to the enclosure box. A+, would certainly call on him again. read more

Mario should get not 5 stars but 10 stars!! All sockets in my living room stopped working. I had extension cords all over the house for a couple of weeks during this heavy rain. My friend recommended Mario, I called him on a Saturday, he showed up to my house right away. Once I explained to him the problem he knew what to do, I could tell then I was dealing with an experienced professional. Mario took care of the problem without any hassle, he even climbed a latter on top of the stairs to finish the job, I was very impressed with his job and even more with the low rates he charged me. If you tried the rest, now try the best, I highly recommend Carranza Electric for all your needs, residential and commercial. Thank you Mario for a well done job! Rose read more

Mario is great - super responsive, timely and completely reasonable wrt price. He investigated a few electrical issues we've been having (plug sockets not working, under counter lights not working / odd wiring, and mis-wired multi-switched), and either fixed them or have an estimate of what it would cost to fix. Based on his assessment, we were able to make decisions about where to spend on the fix vs where to wait for a remodel - many thanks to Mario for his great & fast work! read more

What a great experience! Mario promptly responded to my request for a quote to install an outlet. He came by the same day to evaluate the job, provided a very reasonable quote and said he had the tools. Thirty minutes later, we had a new outlet and a new breaker! We will definitely call Mario again for future electrical needs! read more

Mario is very efficient and easy to work with. he installed the 240v very quickly. the quote he provided was the final cost. great service! read more

I bought a 100 year old home that wasn't very well maintained. Nothing was updated - I found Mario from Carranza Electric - he gave me a free estimate and I let him know that I wanted a couple more estimates and I would decide in a few days. I chose Mario because he offered me the best deal, he was super professional, came in clean work clothes and a clean truck. AND he was available to begin the following work week. He showed up to work at 7am and finished as he said he would. He rewired and put in a whole new load center and labeled every circuit. I highly recommend him without any reservation. read more

Mario is an expert and offers reliable service. I contacted via Yelp to obtain a quote and received immediate response and service on the same day. Highly recommended!! read more

If I could give Mario 10 stars, I would. He is an excellent electrician - responsive, reliable and reasonable. The first two, of which, are VERY tough traits to find in tradespeople. And on top of that, he's a kind man. He's hung a chandelier, a sconce added 2 sconce outlets, installed an electric box and flush mount and the largest job was installing recessed lights/adding outlets. Every time he was quick, did a clean job and offered fair pricing. Mario is my GO-TO electrician from here on out. Thank you, Mario! read more

Absolutely recommended. Mario was prompt while scheduling our appointment and arrived exactly when he said he would, fixed our electrical issue quickly and also helped answer a few questions about how we can handle some other issues in the house. The entire time he was professional and friendly and I'll be reaching out to him for any future work we need done. read more

Mr. Carranza returned a few days later and was again, excellent. Professional, efficient, reasonable charge, and quick to respond. I'd give 6 stars if I could! read more

I reached out to Mario on a Saturday afternoon and he responded right away. He tried squeezing me in on Sunday but ended coming on Tuesday. He came and reconnected the 220v wire that an hvac guy cut years ago. Mario was thorough, even showing me the voltage on the plug and helping me to move the dryer and plug it in to see that it was now working. He was done within the hour and the cost was reasonable. Will definitely call him for our next electrician job. read more

Mario was great. Super fast response to my quote request late at night and booked an appointment for the following day. He did an awesome job requiring and replacing some old outlets at a fair price. Would definitely recommend him! Accepts cash and check only. read more

Had a weird issue with the two rooms upstairs where the lights flicker or the power goes out when you plug anything in the outlet, even a phone charger. The other room and areas that are on the same circuit are fine for some reason. It was a lot of painstaking work ruling out possible issues including removing smart switches and tracing multiple lines that branches off to more outlets, lights and switches. Mario was able to fix the issue and even tidy up the tangled mess of wires he found in the ceiling. He was patient, professional and friendly. He also gave us fa air price. So save yourself time and headache. Call Carranza Electric! read more

We had an odd electrical issue we thought was related to the breakers where part of the house was out of power. Mario was very communicative - one of the first to respond and was able to arrive on short notice. After doing due diligence on the breaker and outlets he narrowed it down to one one of the switches and was able to get power restored within about 2 hrs read more
